Chapter 31
The next day was full of excitement, it was the last day of classes and that night was the Yule Ball.
That morning Alex and Severus were brought to Dumbledore's office. Severus was feeling better than the day before. "Welcome, please take a seat." They sat down in the comfy chairs infront of the fireplace.
"Thank you for coming in so early." He said, sitting down with them. "Would you care for some tea?" He asked, conjuring a kettle and cups.
"Yes please." Alex said, still very tired and not completely awake yet.
"Have you made plans for Christmas holiday?" He asked, handing Alex a cup of tea.
"We're going to visit my mother for a few days and then return to the school." Severus said, taking his cup from Albus.
"I was thinking that when you two return you could start helping Harry." Albus said, sipping his tea before continuing. "Alex will teach him dueling techniques and Severus... the boy needs a great deal of help with occulemency. I ask you to try and help him again."
"I will try Headmaster, but if I catch him in my Pensive again I will not be responsible for my actions."
"I think the boy learned his lesson the last time, Severus." Severus had a brief look of pride when Albus said this. "All that is left now is for you to talk to him Alex."
"I'll keep him after class today." Alex said, snapping out of her tired daze.
"Are you alright dear?" Albus asked.
"Fine, just a little tired." Alex said smiling weakly.
"Well, now that all of that is settled we should all head off to breakfast." Albus said, standing from his seat.
They went down to the great hall and took their normal seats at the staff table.
Just as Alex began to eat she spotted Harry, this was the first time she saw him as a nephew and not a student.
"Well, it's not so bad being Auntie to the boy who lived... I guess." Alex thought to herself before continuing to eat.
